If "Wired" waited until this morning, they could have gotten a much bigger version. (Click image at the link for the 3700 x 3441 pixel version.) Cool thing to notice: You can see reflections the Mars scenery the big ChemCam/laser and in the four NavCam cameras.

The version the link gives is based on thumbnails the rover sent back. My link's version used the larger images the rover sent later. Both versions where done by people at unmannedspaceflight.com. I have an account there pretty much to make it easier to keep track of what cool stuff that I have or have not yet seen yet.

(Because of bandwidth concerns, the rover usually sends thumbnails to Earth. NASA then radios back which images they want to full versions of.)

TV's Vinnie:You know, for a multi-billion dollar, nuclear-fueled rover, it hasn't really gone very far lately. How many meters did Spirit/Opportunity cover in it's first three months?

Yet this rover has sent back more scientific information than both of those rovers combined. Who knew that taking time to dig holes, blast rocks into vapor, analyze the chemical composition of things requires the rover to be stationary? It's unpossible!

Are you a Republican? I ask because that literally is one of the dumbest dam things I've ever seen someone express, and I spend a lot of time on Fark and Reddit.

And why is that? It's a legit question. For a rover it certainly hasn't done mush.......roving.

When you land in the right place, roving isn't required. And be patient, it will do more roving when it's done with the tasks at hand scoop.

It's called Curiosity. It needs to stop and be curious about things. Maybe the next rover, which will be called Hyperactivity, will bounce around Mars like a six year old with three cans of Dr. Pepper in him.

We did that one already, although to be fair, it only bounced once or twice.
